Meghan McCain kicked off the week by going after her fellow co-hosts on The View, taking aim at Joy Behar in particular during a discussion about gun control.

It was not so much a discussion as it was the start of a discussion, with McCain cutting off Sunny Hoisin as she read off a list of the mass casualty events in this country which have been carried out by individuals using AR-15 style rifles.

She had just finished the list when McCain fired back that the Texas gunman who murdered 26 inside a church was brought down by an AR 15 and voiced her annoyance that this was to be the focus of the conversation.

McCain, who has long been a passionate defender of gun rights, then declared: 'I am a legal gun owner and gun laws don't have any impact on people who legally go and buy guns and use them in a safe way. As a gun owner we're demonized to such a degree.'

McCain then had trouble articulating what she wanted to say and turned her anger towards Behar.

'You know what. Fine. You're not even looking at me. I hate...' said McCain, eventually grabbing her mug to have a sip of water.

A calm and collected Behar then stated: 'I'm thinking of the 60s and 70s and how the black panthers and the weathermen had a lot of guns and suddenly the NRA put in gun control.'
